Volvo Cars of North America reported U.S. sales of 4,152 units, a 12 percent decrease from September 2009. Year-to-date sales are down 12 percent over the first nine months of 2010.
In Canada, Volvo sales were up 5.7 percent in September with a total of 537 vehicles sold. Year-to-date sales are up 4.9 percent in Canada.
The all-new 2011 S60 sports sedan went on sale at the end of September and looks to bolster Volvo’s sales in the fourth quarter. A major volume contributor for VCNA, the supply of previous-generation S60s has been fully depleted. The all-new S60 with available Pedestrian Detection with Full Auto Brake, dynamic handling characteristics and stunning design carries a base price of just $37,700*.
